Varsity the Weekly - Inside look: Bishop Moore vs. Jones

*On winning the game and avoiding a potential district tiebreaker (if Bishop Moore loses and Frostproof beats South Sumter, then Bishop Moore, Jones and Frostproof would be tied atop Class 2A, District 4): "It's huge. We've been in those tiebreakers before and they are not a lot of fun."

*On Hornets RB Jalen Singleton: "He played great against Frostproof, and he played great against South Sumter. In the district games, he has excelled, and we need him to do it again against Jones. He's the key."

*On pressure: "I feel the pressure and I think coaches feel pressure, but I don't think the kids feel pressure about anything. For them, it's just a football game, and it's a chance to . . . have fun."

*On his team's passing game: "We've got experience at quarterback, and Nathan Perera is a great target for us, so we've made an emphasis to try to get him involved. It's helped us be more balanced."

*On Jones' standouts: "Their quarterback is outstanding, Angelo Warner. They've also got that tall wideout, [Stacy] Robinson, who is a matchup problem. Their running backs are very good."

*On the importance of the game: "Our kids realize what's at stake. If we want to go to the playoffs, we have to win. And they realize they put themselves in this hole when we lost to Frostproof when we had a bad game. A lot of them want to make up for what they did wrong."

*On practice leading to the game: "The energy has always been there, but lately the focus has been better. They've paid more attention to detail."

*On stopping Bishop Moore: "No. 2 [Singleton], No. 4 [Tyler Floyd] and No. 9 [Perera]. Those three guys. I know you can't stop them, so you just hope to contain them. If we can slow them down, then we've got a good chance of being successful."

*On stepping up: "We can't depend on just one person. Everyone has to hold themselves accountable. We need to have a hole bunch of Indians and no chiefs."

*On playing at home: "We're going to have our home crowd there and it's homecoming, and it's going to be great to be in our comfort zone. I tell my kids that no matter where you play, as long as there are referees, some whistles and a ball, then that's your house and you've got to own it."
